The UK division of Warner Music’s publishing company Warner/Chappell yesterday announced it had promoted its Creative Director Mike Sault to the new role of Director Of A&R. He will report to Warner/Chappell UK MD Richard Manners.
Says Manners: “The creation of this new role is an important step towards more closely co-ordinating our strategic approach across Warner/Chappell UK’s entire range of repertoire. In his time with us, Mike has consistently demonstrated his exceptional ability to recognise talent and, just as importantly, bring it to prominence. Now more than ever, the kind of creative vision that Mike can bring to bear will open up new avenues for our catalogue and ensure that it remains dynamic and relevant in today’s market. I look forward to working toward those goals with Mike and congratulate him on a very well-deserved promotion”.
Sault added: “I’m delighted to be stepping into this role at such an exciting time and continuing to work with Richard and the rest of the exceptional team here during the next phase of Warner/Chappell UK’s development. We are all extremely ambitious for our writers and their music and committed to the kind of innovative approach that will help realise the true potential of the Warner/Chappell catalogue past, present and future”.
